Overview
COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES is a forty page open-field poem, a diptych inspired by the two-panel works of Warhol and Bacon, by San Antonio poet BILL SHUTE, composed in Texas and Louisiana in 2020 under lockdown from COVID-19. Shute's work is rooted in the post-Projective Verse poetics of Blackburn, Berrigan, and Eigner, but completely his own. The title of one of his spoken-word poetry albums sums up his approach: Junk Sculpture From The New Gilded Age. The poetry echoes his work with such avant-garde musician-composers as Derek Rogers, Mari Rubio (aka More Eaze) and Alfred 23 Harth, while being steeped in the culture and particulars of the present-day Gulf Coast and South-Central Texas. The book's epigraph comes from composer Morton Feldman, "silence is my substitute for counterpoint." A career-spanning Selected Poems will be published by Moloko Print in Germany in 2022.
